When Jack Wu decided it was time to propose to his beloved Ashley Su, he wanted to make sure it was a moment she would remember forever. In the luxurious Lieutenant Governor’s Suite of the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver, surrounded by 100 roses, Jack asked Ashley to be his forever.
That intimate proposal marked the beginning of a wedding journey that would weave together cherished family traditions, high fashion, and memories spanning continents. The couple’s Chinese signing ceremony was held at the historic Vancouver Club, where just nine close family members and friends gathered to celebrate their union. Ashley and Jack had chosen to have this ceremony in Vancouver, not only to honour their roots but also because Ashley’s father was unable to travel to France.
This gave the signing ceremony a deep, personal meaning. Before the ceremony, Ashley shared a quiet first look with her father—an emotional moment that she would carry with her into the ceremony and beyond. For the floral design, Ashley gave the full creative design direction to her planner, designer Liting Chan of Paradise Events Inc.
Tapping into her years of experience, Liting drew inspiration from the iconic blue delphinium arrangements seen in Dior’s runway shows. Hundreds of these delicate blue blooms, specially imported from Holland, adorned the ceremony space, adding an ethereal touch and honouring her love of fashion. The simplicity and elegance of the single flower type underscored the ceremony’s intimacy, allowing the focus to rest entirely on the love between Ashley and Jack. The blue delphinium contrasted Ashley’s red custom gown creating an unconventional wedding look with a high fashion touch of luxury.
Jack looked dapper in a tuxedo from Atelier Amaro, paired with elegant Carmina footwear, exuding classic sophistication. Ashley dazzled in a custom Ines Di Santo gown paired with Christian Louboutin heels, combining traditional beauty with modern elegance.
Later, she slipped into a stunning white Martina Liana dress, styled with Freya Rose heels, embodying grace and refinement. The fathers of both the bride and groom shared touching speeches at the signing ceremony, adding warmth and tradition to the event. Their words celebrated the love Ashley and Jack had cultivated and underscored the support and blessings that would accompany them as they moved forward together.
One week after the signing ceremony, the couple celebrated their union in grand fashion at a breathtaking château in the French countryside. With only 28 close family members and friends in attendance, the wedding was an intimate yet splendid affair, blending the warmth of a family gathering with the romance of a fairy tale. Set against the backdrop of lush vineyards and timeless architecture, Ashley and Jack’s France wedding was a beautiful homage to their shared love story.
Each detail of the ceremony and reception was thoughtfully curated to reflect their unique style and the deep connection they shared. For Ashley and Jack, the wedding journey was a perfect blend of family, tradition, and timeless beauty — creating cherished memories that will last a lifetime.
